Student Assistance Program - SAP
The Student Assistance Program (SAP), is a school-based counseling program that targets students (Preschool-12) at numerous Fresno Unified School District campuses, as well as rural Fresno County schools in Sanger Unified and Firebaugh-Las Deltas Unified. The goal of the program is to help students overcome emotional obstacles that may hinder their ability to succeed in school through individual and group counseling with qualified CYS counselors. Over the past three years, the Student Assistance Program has served more than 20,000 students in grades Preschool-12. The program, which began in 1990, has been honored with two national awards from the U.S. Department of Education and the National Student Assistance Program and Partners. Trained SAP counselors provide individual, family and group counseling, crisis intervention, case management, referral and consultation services. An individualized treatment plan is developed for each student/family based on a thorough assessment of their needs. The SAP also provides workshops, in-services to school personnel and parents, and presentations on a variety of topics including parent education, anger management, and other issues of importance. Counselors address a variety of topics with the students including depression, alcohol, drug and tobacco abuse, suicide, self-mutilation, anger management, health concerns, school-related problems, child abuse, teen pregnancy, gang involvement, eating disorders, anxiety, grief and loss issues, among others.
